Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In what is arguably his greatest book, written in 1979, America's most heroically ambitious writer follows the short, blighted career of Gary Gilmore, an intractably violent product of America's prisons who — after robbing two men and killing them in cold blood — insisted on dying for his crime. To do so, he had to fight a system that seemed intent on keeping him alive long after it had sentenced him to death. Norman Mailer tells Gilmore's story — and those of the men and women caught up in his procession toward the firing squad — with implacable authority, steely compassion, and a restraint that evokes the parched landscapes and stern theology of Gilmore's Utah. The Executioner's Song is a towering achievement, impossible to put down, impossible to forget. Review:"Literature of the highest order" Miami Herald Review:"A harrowing account...elevated by Mailer's genius into art" Houston Chronicle What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
